How much milk needed in freezer?

DH and I are going away for  2.5 days (leaving friday afternoon arriving home at midnight on sunday) and I am concerned about my stash in the freezer. DD will be 11m when we leave and I am trying to figure out how much I need to have. I am home so I mostly nurse her unless I go out. She will take a full bottle from 4-6 oz from DH but only a few ounces at a time from my mother, who will be watching DS and DD. 

I pumped this morning to start adding more to my (36oz stash) and only pumped about 2 ounces. This also concerns me as I hadnt feed her yet so I should have more than that, no? New pregnant so thinking my supple might have dropped. Anyways...how many ounces do you think I need to have? She has solids 3 times a day and is starting to take some water from a sippy.

    My DD isn't a real big eater. She only has a bottle occasionally, but when she does, she drinks about 4 or 5 ounces. She nurses 3 times/day, plus once at night, so if I were leaving her for 2 days, I'd leave 20 oz./day just to be safe. So, in your case, about 50 oz.

    My dd takes 3 bottles of ~5oz at daycare and nurses twice, so if I were to go away I'd leave 25oz a day, plus a few oz to go into cereal.  And probably one extra bottle a day just in case she decides she's hungry (once in a blue moon she'll have 4 bottles at DC), so for 2 days I'd leave 65oz, but, my dd is 23lbs, so I expect she eats more than your average 1yo.
